Google unveils Google TV

Google has announced at its Google I/O conference today that it is teaming with Sony, Logitech and Intel to produce Google TV. The device won’t replace your cable or satellite box, instead it will work alongside it. The goal is to be able to view both web and television content side-by-side.
